Wow Charlie that is going to look amazing when it's finished and thanks for posting the progress pics!! How big is the overall size of the portrait? And can you tell me the exact spiral blade you use? I mainly do face portaits and only have used straight .029 with 40 tpi. The only spiral blade I tried, not sure which one exactly, left the back of the wood all chewed up and would require a lot of filing to clean up. I am currently working on a portrait of a freind of mines Dad who used to be a telephone pole climber. Its him standing behind a service truck and the pattern had 85 details to cut. It's coming out nice and will post it when I am done. But Thanks again for posting and continued success with the portrait.
